It's soooooo unfair (sniffle)

[rastuscat]

Interesting.

One of my troops uses his new SMART device to run checks on every motorbike that goes past when he's at a checkpoint.

More than half of them show as having no WoF, no registration, registration on hold, or the rider having no or the incorrect licence.

There was me thinking all bike riders were law abiding citizens who we cops picked on totally unfairly. Seems it's fair after all.

Troll.

[bogan]

How does he check the rider's license?

Also, maybe the reason rider's can't afford licensing for their bikes is the unfair bit

So that means half are legal. To balance that how many cars are legal?

If its so smart why do I get pulled over when im legal?

[MSTRS:Me]

Oh yea...Genghis Khan and the screaming hordes had nothing on today's motorcyclist.

You're assuming the rider at the time is the registered owner. Shame on you...

So, the gubblemunt have admitted defeat, and turned to electronic aids to make the po-po SMARTer? How's that working out do you think?

Soon, you'll all be in Special Ed, I mean Branch, Yes, Special Branch.

And he didn't wave, how rude.

[MSTRS:Me]

And he didn't wave, how rude.

I'm sure he did. He probably used the one that has the hand held up, fingers/thumb closed fist-like, and then the index finger extended and repeatedly curled towards the signaller. You know - what your mother did when you were in trouble.
Of course, just like back then, the most effective countermeasure was to rapidly depart the scene...

My mummy would have denied even knowing what that wave was, I truly suspect she wouldn't have understood it either, but boy she could swing a mean wooden spoon.

like the same ones that pay for the cyclists and equestrians.
Isn't nice how we have swallowed the whole bikers must pay line.

Ah ha, but dear Nick Smith and his mates based the ACC levy on bikes on the cost to ACC of the "bike" account. If all the evaders were in fact registered, then the cost to the rest of us would be much less.

I have always said I would prefer personal ACC cover that would give me discounts for no claim etc and my own track record would then be the only thing that counts, not that of the crashing fraternity or the non-paying fraternity, nor would I pay multiple for having multiple vehicles.

Rastucat has just confirmed to me how many of the bike community (as in over half) have a disregard for the rest of us.
